Teresa Shellenbarger, PhD, RN, CNE, ANEF, Editor
Excellence in clinical nursing education is essential in training
today's nursing students.
The first resource of its kind to address this specialized area of
expertise, Clinical Nurse Educator Competencies equips educators
with a mastery of the evidence-based competencies and tasks needed to
confidently guide students through learning experiences in clinical
settings and to produce competent nurses ready for practice.
Detailed analysis of each competency synthesizes relevant literature and
reflects the insight of the NLN Task Group on Clinical Nurse Educators,
providing an authoritative framework to help educators prepare students
for the rigors of clinical nursing practice in today's changing
healthcare environment.
"This synthesis and validation of academic clinical nurse educator
competencies defines a scope of practice for the role of the academic
clinical nurse educator. The results provide a standard of excellence
central to the performance expectations associated with this specialized
role."
